Introduction: Roland Müller

Living in Finland and working for a bigger telecom supplier (you may know it: name.startsWith("N") && name.endsWith("okia") :-) ) already since 1996.
Except my work life I am happy to be part of our family - my wife, our children + partners and grandchildren.

During my work life in IT I had the opportunity to do and learn quite a bunch of things, even without ever changing my employee.
This is definitely bad for CV, but I am already too old to care about.

In my former life - still in my home country Germany - I was studying Humanistics: History, Hungarian, Russian and some Finnish.
This turned out not to feed me and so - after moving ot Finland - I studied CS in Finland beside working as teacher for German.

As result I received my master degree in Computer Science from the University of Tampere, and also managed to start my current job.

IT-related things and skills I learned on job and/or outside the work:

scripting languages such as Bash, Perl or Python

"real" programming in C++, Java

setting up web servers using Apache, nginx or JavaWeb servers

dealing with obscure things such as XML, JSon and Yaml

working with version control systems: git, SVN, CSV and RCS (latter was my starting task)

databases: Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL

Unix and Linux, but also Windows. Usage of latter cannot be avoided in bigger enterprises.

I received now already expired cerfications for SCJP Java 1.4 and 1.6  in 2005 (?) and 2011, SCWCD for JavaWeb in 2011 and RHCSA for RHEL in 2017 .

Last not least: end of Dec. 2023 I was nominated as Ranch Foreman in Coderanch.

Good to see you here; do you have a book to promote soon?

He's one of our new bartenders.

Of course! Thank you for the correction. I should try only posting when awake.

Speaking of which, welcome to the back rooms of the Ranch!

Cool, Linux nerd detected, I think?

Oh you typoed CVS above btw. Something so old that I don't even remember why it was abandoned... I just remember it was better than what we had to use before that: network file share.

Studying Hungarian, Russian, and Finnish qualifies as masochism in my book, and I'm a person who likes language study!

I would have thought Russian easier than the other two languages.
